Take To The Tracks With Leger Holidays’ Rail Holidays!

 

First stand-alone rail holidays’ brochure

 

The fully escorted tours company Leger Holidays, has published its first stand-alone rail holidays brochure, Fully Escorted Rail Holidays Throughout Europe 2025- 2026 Collection.

 

The holidays included in the collection feature travel by rail from the UK, a wonderful rail experience, or a combination of both!   Also included are some rail experience holidays featuring the escorted luxury coach travel Leger Holidays is famous for; and some of the train themed holidays give the option to fly to the destination. All tours are accompanied by an experienced tour manager.

 

Travelling to Europe by train, customers can enjoy quicker journeys by Eurostar, with onward connections via Europe’s network of high-speed trains.

 

Leger Shearings Group’s head of retail sales Ashley Dellow said: “Trains hold a special fascination, and the new Leger Holidays’ brochure contains some real wishlist rail experiences. In addition, agents increasingly tell me their customers want to avoid airports and many of the tours in the brochure offer travel from London to Europe by rail – it’s a faster way to get the holiday underway but like coach travel it’s stress free and gives the chance to relax and enjoy the scenery on the way.”

 

Memorable train excursions featured in the 2025 / 26 collection include the Red and Yellow Trains of the Pyrenees, the Jungfrau Railway, and the breath-taking journey through the Swiss Alps on the iconic Glacier Express.

 

In addition, there are festive rail holidays featuring travel by rail or air, taking in exciting destinations including the Swiss Alps, the Black Forest and Transylvania.
